Parasites, like fleas and ticks, can live on our pets and can cause serious health problems and discomfort. Parasites survive by taking nutrients from your pet, causing irritation, nutrient deficiencies, discomfort, and debilitation if left untreated. Paralysis ticks inject a neurotoxin that can seriously harm your pets.
Fortunately, there are many pet parasite preventatives available that are easy to use and will keep you and your pet protected. Flea and tick treatments may come in chews or a topical spot-on treatment, and can work to protect your pet from the inside out targeting the parasite’s nervous system.
If you’re not sure where to start when choosing a product, talk to your Greencross veterinarian or veterinary nurse who will be able to provide you with sound local knowledge and recommend a product that suits your pet.

Why does Bravecto Chew last so long?
Bravecto contains fluralaner, which has unique and innovative properties. After treating your dog with Bravecto, fluralaner is absorbed into tissues of the body. The body then eliminates fluralaner very slowly leading to a long duration of activity.

Bravecto is safe for use in puppies over 8 weeks of age weighing at least 2 kg. It can also be used in breeding, pregnant, and lactating dogs.
